A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of scrofula
Cured by
Hoods ~SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 | was attacked with
Scrofula In one Of the most aggravating forms.
At one time / had no less than thirteen large
Assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerablc to endure. 1t is impossible
TO fully describe my suiIerings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, | was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation OF W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport. l was induced
TO try Hoods S%arsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less / do not know what 1t may
have done for others, but l do know that In
my case, Hoods S~arsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence OF
my gratitude l send these facts unsolicited,
and / am ready to verify the authenticity OF
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB-
ERTs. East Wilson, N. Y. r
This statement is confirmed by W. j. Hunt
ley, druggist. OF Lockport, N. Y. who calls the
cure a great rictory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

A Visit To Our National w. G. T.
q. Workshop.

It looked like "Woman's Cen.
fury" to visit the editorial and
composing rooms of the Union
Signal. Young women are set
ting type, making up forms and
reading proof, while in the editor
ial rooms above sits the editor in
chief, Mary Allen West, large in
brain, large in heart and large in
physique, looking out of her sun
rise window on the earth which is
growing brighter under the rising
beams of the Sun of Righteousness
whose dawning she has helped to
usher in. On the right and left
ranged about the large and hand
somely equipped room, are chairs
and desks, belonging to the edito-
rial corps of the W. T. P. A. who
are all women, and yet there are
silly women and sillier men who
believe that women are mot suffi-
Gent for these things"

Sowing the Seed.

Mrs. P. V. Hobson of Paint
Creek, W. Va, has permission to
establish a Temperance library in
the depot at that place for the
benefit of the public, and as there
are few Temperance workers in
that vicinity she greatly needs
and desires help in this important
undertaking. Good literature on
any phases of the Temperance
question, especially tracts and
papers will accomplish most ben
tfcial results if placed in the
hands Of this earnest worker
Look about you and send such a
contribution to this work as you
may have or can collect among
your friends.

The Oak and Ivy Leaf.

This month the new "Y." paper
comes out. 1t meets the "long felt
want" and the appreciation of this
attempt to please should be shown
in a practical manner by our "Y's."
It will be devoted especially to the
needs and instruction of these read
ers and the contributors will be the
best procurable. One Of the good
things about it is that it has been
placed within the reach of all.
Subscription for one year, 25 cents.
Club of ten or over, 20 cents.

Our Young Crusader.

We can't tell what we think of
Miss Guernsey, Editor of the
Young Crusader, because we should
have to use some of those rhapsodic
adjectives which she 80 earnestly
begs White Ribboners to abjure in
speaking of one another. Hers is
q face that never will grow old ;
the springtime shines in her eyes
and we don't wonder that she has
been chosen to show the children
the sunny side of life.

DEAR SISTER JOHNSON
l promised you some
time ago that l would write you
telling how We succeeded in our
Jail work.
| have been paralyze over year
SO l could not 60 as often to the Jail
as I wished, but as it was Gods
will to chastise me l must submit.
l got others to take my place in
the work until l was abls to 60 on
with it.
We have had some glorious con-
versions.
One of the converts, man who
has been imprisoned six different
times to my own knowledge, has
begun to help US in this Christian
Temperance work.
l know of no work that has so
little sympathy given it. The for
eign missionary has the prayers of
the church to 60 with him, but we
who labor amid all kinds of sinners
never receive its prayers unless d.
rectly asked tor.
Your Sister in Christ,
MRS. JACOB SNYDER.

The Boys to the Front.

In Manchester, New Hampshire,
a new organization is being moth

originated and composed of boys
and called 'Boy's Christian Tenn.
perance Union" They have adopt.
ed the white ribbon for their badge.
Boys from ten to sixteen can be-
come members by signing the trip
lie pledge and paying a yearly fee
of twenty-five cents.

Circulate the Freeman.

Again We ask and urge that
every Union take immediate steps
to put the FREEMAN into the hands
of more OF our workers, and those
who must become workers if we
are to win in this contest.
1t is our only medium of com.
munication in our State Work.
We can't get along without it, and
it can't get along without our
help.
